Vocal Parameters and Voice-Related Quality of Life in Adult Women With and Without Ovarian Function
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryObjectivesTo identify the perceptual and acoustic parameters of voice in adult women with and without ovarian function and its impact on quality of life related to voice.MethodsCross-sectional and analytical study with 106 women divided into, two groups: G1, with ovarian function (n = 43) and G2, without physiological ovarian function (n = 63). The women were instructed to sustain the vowel “a” and the sounds of /s/ and /z/ in habitual pitch and loudness. They were also asked to classify their voices and answer the voice-related quality of life (V-RQOL) questionnaire. The perceptual analysis of the vocal samples was performed by three speech-language pathologists using the GRBASI (G: grade; R: roughness; B: breathness; A: asthenia; S: strain; I: instability) scale. The acoustic analysis was carried out with the software VoxMetria 2.7h (CTS Informatica). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.ResultsIn the perceptual analysis, both groups showed a mild deviation for the parameters roughness, strain, and instability, but only G2 showed a mild impact for the overall degree of dysphonia. The mean of fundamental frequency was significantly lower for the G2, with a difference of 17.41 Hz between the two groups. There was no impact on V-RQOL in any of the V-RQOL domains for this group.ConclusionsWith the menopause, there is a change in women's voices, impacting on some voice parameters. However, there is no direct impact on their quality of life related to voice.
